I am utterly impressed with your hard work to keep a well organized site going. Every time I log on, I can go where I wish to without some one throwing a pop up screen or invite at me unwarranted. Hail The Dark Tree!

Please correct me if I'm wrong, but it is my understanding that using "Reverend" when referring to a "Magister" is perfectly alright. It says the following in the "Affiliation" section of churchofsatan.com:

“Do what you want as long as it's paying off for you. But once it's become a liability, then something is wrong and you better find out what it is.” --Anton Szandor LaVey

"I have only ONE thing to say to trendy brain-dead music-centered youth: “ARBEIT MACHT FREI” SHITHEADS – PULL UP YOUR STUPID PANTS AND FORM A LINE AT THE PLATFORMS, THE TRAINS WILL BE ARRIVING SOON." --Magister James D. Sass

To me, a Priest/Priestess can be called Reverned. But a Magister and above deserve to be destinctive from the other grades; just as a Reverend is destinctive from a Warlock and a Warlock is destinctive from a Citizen.

I am very insistant about showing proper customs, curtasy, and respect to ranks and titles. Its probably a Marine thing.

Just so you know, I remember when Magister Ventrue was called Reverend Ventrue. I ment no disrespect to him, I think he must have a great level of patience to work with all of us.

Also, he has a code of honor that I respect personally. The Church of Satan has been around for quite some time and has always shown me dignity and respect regardless of my title or standing. Am I a card carrying member? No. Do I research their resourses? Yes. Because they are accurate.

Anton LeVay went to great lengths to promote Satanic philosophy. In the midst of harsh ridicule and judgementalism. I may not share his personal belief system, but what I do share is the freedom to be. To be myself. I live in the here and now. Tomarrow is what it is. All I know is today.

So yea, back to the important matter of the topic, Magister Ventrue is a shining representation of our shared philosophies, and deserves the accolades given. I've only been a fixture in this forum for a short time, but I've already seen Ventrue as a successful business man and positive force in the Satanic community; a compleat Satanist if I may. Hailz to you Magister Ventrue! And much thanks for your efforts in supporting our shared network and helping provide us with access to some quite kick ass gear via the CoS Emporium.
